Just wanted to pat myself on the back. 16 months ago, I had my last baby. 14 months ago, I began working out again, working my way up to running a 5k just here lately. I own an iPod,and it tracks my stats. On it, the stats from the last few years, my fastest mile is 7:28, and my fastest 5k is 25:47. So imagine my dismay, when right now, my runs are more like 11 min miles. But...I also realize I'm 45 lbs heavier too. I know that makes a huge difference.
So. This morning, I decided to just run, I didn't worry about how fast I was going, I didn't wear myself out trying to go faster. I just ran. And ran. And ran 4 whole miles, or 6.4k. And my fastest pace was 10:19' and my average was just under 11 min per mile.
So yay for me! I ran farther than I have in two years!
